Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 377
Zhu Yousong went deep into the enemy's rear to spy on the military situation, and returned with a full load.The three of them, Ma Jinhua and He Xuanjiao, hadn't gone far when a cannon rang and a group of people blocked their way.

Looking at the wormwood bushes, behind the rocks, in the woods, and in the reeds in the distance, all over the mountains and plains, there are all Qing troops, boundless, and I don't know how many, as if they came out of the ground.Zhu Yousong's three men and three cavalry were already surrounded by thousands of troops.

"Your Majesty, there is an ambush among us." Ma Jinhua and He Xuan's delicate faces tightened, and they raised their hands to take off the sword and gun from the victory hook of the bird's wing ring.

Zhu Yousong was also a little surprised. It was common for you to ambush the enemy and the enemy to ambush you when you were going out to fight. But what is abnormal is that the countless Qing troops in front of you didn't accidentally discover that they came to kill them. The ambush is good in this area.

This shows that his action plan has been leaked in advance, but he decided to come here to check the terrain in person only yesterday, and the Tartars already knew about it and waited for him here in advance.

However, Zhu Yousong was not panicked at all, and said to the two concubines with an expression of not being surprised when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him: "It seems that there are spies by my side."

"It must have been done by Zu Keyong and Ma Bao, these two beasts!" He Xuanjiao immediately thought of these two generals, and couldn't help but gritted his teeth and cursed, wishing he could chop them up with one knife.

Zhu Yousong shook his head and said: "No, I said that although these two lovers are surrendered generals, they have always been loyal to me. Zu Keyong hates Tartars the most. One life, if I hadn't brought people to arrive, Ma Bao would have seen Lord Yan long ago, and Ma Bao could see the face of the Tartars. After that, the two generals have killed countless Tartars and made many military exploits. There is absolutely no way for the two of them It is a spy of the Tartars, and the spy must be someone else!"

"But who else can there be besides them? Zu Keyong is Zu Dashou's servant, and Ma Bao is Wu Sangui's old department. Before that, their two generals followed Zheng Hongkui to fight against Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui. Before the two armies, their master and servant Deep affection, reminiscing about the past, and drinking, has Your Majesty forgotten? Who else could it be if they didn’t leak the secret?”

"Why doesn't Jiaoer think about it, if the two of them are spies, the four kings of the Qing court will not be killed by my nest; if they are spies, Kong Youde, Man Dahai, Tong Yangjia and others will not be so defeated awful."

"But..." He Xuanjiao was at a loss for words.

"Don't be so. I already know who the spy is, but I can't speculate about this kind of thing. After returning to the camp, I will use a little trick to make the spy surface."

Zhu Yousong has experienced many enemies for a long time, and he doesn't panic when things happen, while He Xuanjiao was born in the green forest. Later, he took over the mountains with his father and became king. There was no sign of panic.

Only Ma Jinhua looked anxious, when is this, do you still think about it?
"Your Majesty, the matter is urgent. It is important for the slave family and sister to protect His Majesty from the encirclement."

At this time, a proud voice came from Gaopo not far away: "The false emperor Zhu Yousong, I didn't expect that Fan and the prince regent have been waiting here for a long time!"

The speaker has an iron helmet on his head and an iron armor on his body. He has a dignified appearance and a burly figure.Sitting down on a big green horse, with a sword hanging from his waist, and a long knife hanging on the winning hook around the bird's wings.It was Fan Wencheng, an unscrupulous literati. At this time, he was immediately on the left of Dorgon, and on the right of Dorgon was Wu Sangui, king of Pingxi, and their personal guards behind him.

In fact, Zhu Yousong's three men and three riders had already entered the encirclement they set up overnight, but they never expected that Zhu Yousong was such a handsome man. Cheng and Dorgon were astonished.

In their minds, the pseudo-emperor Zhu Yousong should be a bloated, fat as a ball. Although he is said to be full of martial arts and can kill on horseback, he should never be a handsome young talent. Zhu Yousong in front of him is about [-] years old, tall, with thin waist and arms, silver helmet and plain armor, riding a big red horse, wearing a jade satin rolling dragon brocade robe, with a sword hanging from his waist, majestic and majestic. , Looking at his face, his face is as white as jade, his eyes are piercing, and he is not angry but arrogant, just like Lu Bu is alive and Zhao Yun is reborn.

If Wu Sangui hadn't been around to testify, Dorgon and Fan Wencheng couldn't believe that this person was the legendary emperor Zhu Yousong of Nanming, and thought that he had found a substitute to lure them here on purpose.

In addition, what surprised Dorgon, Fan Wencheng and others was that Zhu Yousong, as an emperor, went deep into the enemy's rear to spy on the military situation, and he only brought two female bodyguards with him. Then he could show up and start killing, but Fan Wencheng was cautious and was afraid of being fooled by Zhu Yousong, so he sent people along the road when Zhu Yousong came to inquire about the situation behind Zhu Yousong and the three of them. Stare at the target from afar.

Until the spies sent out ran for dozens of miles, Zhu Yousong and Ermei were full of ambitions, gesticulating and talking in a low voice. As for what they were talking about, they didn't hear a word, but it was confirmed that Zhu Yousong was really three Three people rode here.

"The false emperor is really extraordinary. This courage and courage is truly an emperor through the ages, unique! However, your end is here!"

Fan Wencheng, Dorgon, and Wu Sangui were amazed, seeing Zhu Yousong and the second concubine getting on their horses and going back, they proudly ordered the ambush soldiers to show up and stop them.

But hundreds of steps away, the sky is clear after the rain, the air is fresh, and the light is particularly good. At this time, the two sides can see each other very clearly.

Zhu Yousong had never met Fan Wencheng and Dorgon before, but he was an old acquaintance with Wu Sangui. Fan Wencheng also claimed to be Fan when he spoke. Look at Dorgon's outfit next to Wu Sangui and Fan Wencheng's imposing manner , Zhu Yousong guessed it immediately.

"If I guessed correctly, your Excellency is the famous Fan Wencheng!" Zhu Yousong still looked calm and didn't even pull his sword, wanting to confirm his guess.

"It's right here. Zhu Yousong, your end is coming, if you are sensible, you can catch him without a fight, and you still make us trouble?" Fan Wencheng straightened his chest, his face full of complacency.

"That's not too busy. How many wives and concubines does Mr. Fan have?" Zhu Yousong had an idea, and instead of being angry, he asked with a smile.

"You...why ask this?" Fan Wencheng blushed, and Zhu Yousong suddenly said this, which made him a little unexpected.

Now in his eyes, Zhu Yousong is after all a dying man trapped in the army of thousands of horses, but Zhu Yousong didn't realize it at all. Instead, he chatted with Fan Wencheng with a smile on his face, which was hailed by later generations as a Chinese history One of the top ten counselors, he was also a little confused at this time.
